Mike Summers - June 2009:

Each summer I would take a group of 8th grade students to Washington, DC and the Williamsburg area. This is the website for the airport: http://www.flyphf.com/content/ . Here's a website for Newport News:
http://scouttraveltips.wikispaces.com/Newport+News%2C+VA . If you want a good beer check out St. George Brewing Company. Not much food, but good beer. Here's the website for the St George Brewing Company: http://www.stgeorgebrewingco.com/ .

Colonial Williamsburg makes for a nice day-visit (Website: http://www.colonialwilliamsburg.com/ ). Here's a website for other Williamsburg information: http://gowilliamsburg.com/ . We always stayed at the Residence Inn by Marriott (Website:
http://www.marriott.com/residence-inn/travel.mi ) in Williamsburg. The Williamsburg AleWerks serves good food and drink (Website: http://www.williamsburgalewerks.com/ ).

Also in the area is the Yorktown Battlefield (Website: http://www.battleofyorktown.com/ and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Yorktown ) site.

The 400 year old town of Jamestown is also close to Newport News (Website: http://historyisfun.org/ ) . It's about 25 miles from Newport News to these three (Yorktown, Jamestown, and Williamsburg) places.

My students also enjoyed visiting the Busch Gardens Amusment Park (Website: http://seaworldparks.com/en/buschgardens-williamsburg ), which is fun to visit on a hot summer day.
